Derek Anson Winchester Memorial Scholarship
Support the Legacy of Derek Winchester
Derek Winchester was more than a nurse—he was a calm leader in a crisis, a compassionate caregiver, and a hero in scrubs. From the moment he helped his family escape a car crash at age 12, to the day he returned to work just weeks after cancer surgery, Derek showed the kind of heart and strength that define true healthcare heroes.
Now, through the Derek Winchester Memorial Scholarship at Richland Community College, you can help carry his legacy forward—supporting future nurses who share his passion, dedication, and compassion.
Give today. Help train the next generation of nurses inspired by Derek’s story.
Your generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community. I hope one day I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as you have helped me.
